October - Duffy
W/C 26.10.26
Hopefully you are enjoying some time together over the holiday. Our last couple of weeks in school were very busy. Our Year 3 pupil spent a morning at Pilton School attending a multi-sports festival with Mrs Francis and Mrs Mitchell. They were delighted to see pupils who had been in Ashleigh in previous years and were now in different schools. So lovely to see friendships being renewed.
On the last Wednesday (21st October) we completed our English stories. As it was very windy we enjoyed some extra time outside playing with leaves and sycamore 'helicopters'. We composed a class poem using our senses to come up with adjectives and verbs.
Autumn Poem
Fresh, minty tree waving,
Crunchy, yellow leaves spinning,
Soft, fresh air blowing,
Brown, curvy helicopters spreading,
Hard, bumpy tree trunk standing.

Over the last couple of weeks we have had to be resilient as we have not had our usual teachers. Most children did a brilliant job of showing our Ashleigh values and hard work.
On Wednesday 30th September we had harvest festival in school. Thank you for your generous donations. You may have noticed a loaf of bread in the shape of a wheatsheaf on the front table. Children in Duffy class worked really hard on Tuesday morning to make this loaf.
We rolled the wheat stalks.
We cut the ears of wheat.
We carefully put it altogether on a baking tray
Then Matt in the kitchen glazed and baked it for us.
Next year we hope to make bread rolls we can turn into a picnic and eat.
